Cultivate – PSALMS 26-50 by Tommy Lee Cultivate – PSALMS 26-50 by Tommy Lee PSALM 26: Have you ever had to endure a false accusation? David did. Unpacking this psalm a bit, it appears that David was accused of living unfaithfully (v.3b), of being yoked with corrupt men (vs.4,5), and of great insincerity in his faith (vs.6-8). But David here proclaims before the Lord that, as to these matters, his conscience is clear (vs.1,11,12). And as he invites God to inspect and test his life (v.2), he also prays for God to take action on his behalf (v.1a,9,10). Psalm 26 is another "Psalm of Petition," as was Psalm 25. But note the heart of this petition: it is a fully absorbed love for the presence and the house of God (vs.6-8). Does David's love for God make our love look "faint"? C.S. Lewis: "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” The source of David's great joy is his treasured yet costly allegiance to the Lord. Let that kind of joy give voice to your prayers this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. The Lord has given you the Psalter so that you might worship him with all of your heart, in every single circumstance of life. PSALM 27: Just look at the vocabulary of this Psalm: evildoers, adversaries, foes, the day of trouble, enemies, enemies again, etc. And yet, at the heart of everything: "One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple" (v.4). Is that our heart, in the midst of great trial and tribulation? Psalm 27 is a "Psalm of Trust," as were 16 and 23. Reading the three of them together is quite fortifying during times of restless anxiety. As verse 1 asks: "Whom shall I fear?... Of whom shall I be afraid?"... indeed! Consider the wisdom of C.H. Spurgeon: "Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” The protection of the Lord, the joy of being in his presence, the implicit loyalty and trust of his servants... let these themes fashion your prayers this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. "I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise" (Psalm 138.1). PSALM 28: In v.2, David asks the Lord to hear the voice of his pleas for mercy. And in v.6, he blesses the Lord, "for he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy." And that's a significant theme of this Psalm. In vs.1 & 2, David is begging the Lord to hear him. In vs.3-5, David is reflecting on the fate of the wicked (those who do not repent of their sins), and asking the Lord to keep him from that fate. In vs.6 & 7, David gives praise to the Lord, for the Lord has heard David's cry. And then the Psalm ends (vs.8 & 9) with David praying for the Lord to do this for all of his people. Psalm 28 is a "Psalm of Lament," bringing before the Lord this fear of being reckoned with the wicked and cast away. Have you ever known that fear? Here the answer from the Lord is clear, and David immediately begins praying this way for all of God's people. I love the last line of this Psalm: "Be their shepherd and carry them forever." See Isaiah 40.11; 46.3-4; 63.9 to enjoy more of that theme. Let that joy brighten your prayers this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. "I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word" (Psalm 138.2). PSALM 29: I love the way that one author (the very recently deceased J.A. Motyer) revels in this Psalm: "It is best simply to let the wonder and awesomeness of this psalm sweep and swirl around us until we are so possessed in spirit by the majesty of the Lord that we too cry 'Glory.'" Psalm 29 is a "Psalm of Revelation," powerfully declaring to us the "wonder and awesomeness" of our God. Do you see his majesty in heaven (vs.1,2)? Do you hear his mighty voice crashing over the sea, through Lebanon and Sirion, and into the wilderness of Kadesh (vs.3-9)? Can we try to comprehend the one who is enthroned over the universe right now, giving strength, blessing, and peace to his people (vs.10,11)? This is a vigorous Psalm, attempting to more fully express just who the Lord is, using his name (Yahweh, "the LORD") no less than 18 times! Let that vigor breathe life into your prayers this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. "On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased" (Psalm 138.3). PSALM 30: The title says that David wrote this Psalm for the dedication of the Temple. The Temple is the Lord's "house" (see 2 Samuel 7.5; 1 Kings 6.1). This is what was prayed and sung on the day of its dedication. What if we used these same themes in praying over our church today? What if each of us used these same themes in praying over and dedicating our own personal "house" to the Lord and to his praise? Psalm 30 is a "Psalm for Times of Trouble," and there is much trouble that is referenced therein. But note that the Psalmist has also now seen restoration, salvation, and healing. And his delight, joy, thanksgiving, and praise shine beautifully through every verse. Mourning has been turned into dancing (v.11). There's an interesting confession of a foolish, over-confident boast in vs.6-10. That kind of carelessness reminds one of Proverbs 1.32,33: "the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster." Perhaps that manner of confession should be brought into your prayers this week? We'll pray it together on Sunday. "All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord" (Psalm 138.4,5). PSALM 31: How do you typically meet a crisis in your life? There are several less-than-helpful ways to meet a crisis. But in prayerfully submitting ourselves to this Psalm this week, let's seek to grow into a faithful response to our crises. Note here how David turns to the Lord in his crisis, with prayer and renewed commitment. And notice how the Lord hears and shows steadfast love (vs.21,22). And notice how David now calls upon us to learn this way of meeting crises in our lives (vs.23,24). Psalm 30 is a "Psalm of God's Faithfulness," reminding us that our times are in God's hand (v.15). And the rest of the Bible shows us how useful this Psalm is to our faith. Jonah drew upon v.6, Jeremiah drew upon v.13, and Jesus Himself drew upon v.5. Everyone has crises from time to time, don't they? Explore how this Psalm, in some ways, covers the same ground twice: vs.1-8 and then again in vs.9-24. And let that doubled-down emphasis leave its mark on your own prayers this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. "Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me" (Psalm 138.7). PSALM 32: Before jumping into Psalm 32, I encourage you to review the shameful episode in King David's life that is recounted in 2 Samuel 11. And then read 2 Samuel 12, noting especially the astonishing verse 13: "David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against the Lord.' And Nathan said to David, 'The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.'" Is that not remarkable? As soon as David acknowledges his sin, stops covering his iniquity, and confesses his transgression, he is forgiven. Now turn to and savor the goodness of Psalm 32, especially v.5. Psalm 32 is a "Penitential Psalm," taking us deeper into the confession of our sin. And notice what the first word of this Psalm is—the first word of a Psalm leading us back into restored fellowship with God. It is "Blessed." To be reconciled to God is true and lasting happiness. That blessed happiness is expressed here both positively and negatively (by recalling the miseries of what it's like to have lost fellowship with God). Let the blessed joy of forgiveness shine through your prayers this week.

  • Psalms Psalm
    Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing.

  • Psalms the Human Condition Life in the Ancient World Was Nasty, Brutish
    Psalms The Human Condition Life in the ancient world was nasty, brutish, and short, and ancient Israel was no exception. The Psalms, more than any other book in the Bible, provide a window to the experiences of ordinary people. Out of the Depths Many of the psalms of complaint are cries of despair: “out of the depths I cry to you O Lord” (Psalm 130:1). Life is lived in the shadow of death, and of the netherworld Sheol: For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. I am counted among those who go down to the Pit . like those whom you remember no more, for they are cut off from your hand. You have put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep. (Psalm 88:3,5b-6) Human life was not entirely extinguished at death, but afterlife in Sheol was nothing to look forward to. Sheol is imagined as a dark damp basement, a pit from which there is no escape. There is no enjoyment in Sheol. The dead cannot even praise the Lord (Psalm 115:17). Indeed, in Sheol there is not even remembrance of God (Psalm 6:5). Consequently, life is lived in fear of going down into Sheol: The waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire where there is no foothold . Do not let the flood sweep over me or the deep swallow me up or the Pit close its mouth over me (Psalm 69:1-2, 15). A Temporary Reprieve When the Psalmist prays to be delivered from Sheol, the request is for a temporary reprieve or for a postponed sentence.

  • Royal Psalms Holy One to Supply by by Sister Michelle Mohr the Help of Grace
    Oblates Newsletter for Oblates of the Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana July 2012 First of all, every time you begin a good work, you must pray to God most earnestly to bring it to perfection…. what “is not possible to us by nature, let us ask the Royal Psalms Holy One to supply by By Sister Michelle Mohr the help of grace. In his book, “Praying the Psalms,” Walter Bruggemann poses two considerations when we pray the psalms. The first —Rule of St. Benedict Prologue 4, 41 consideration is: What do we find in the psalms that is already there, and the second is: What do we bring to the psalms out of our own lives. The royal psalms, our topic today, are categorized according to their subject matter of kingship. Specifically the royal psalms A recipe for success deal with the spiritual role of kings in the worship of God. “Begin with a prayer, The Royal Psalms live and work in God’s Psalm 2, Psalm 18, Psalm 20, Psalm 21, Psalm 45, Psalm 72, Psalm 101, Psalm 110, Psalm 132, Psalm 144 presence, His” grace will strengthen you, and God Each of these psalms makes explicit references to the subject, the king.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT Wisdom Editing in the Book of Psalms: Vocabulary, Themes, and Structures Steven Dunn, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2009 This study examines the pervasive influence of post-exilic wisdom editors and writers in the shaping of the Psalter by analyzing the use of wisdom elements—vocabulary, themes, rhetorical devices, and parallels with other Ancient Near Eastern wisdom traditions. I begin with an analysis and critique of the most prominent authors on the subject of wisdom in the Psalter, and expand upon previous research as I propose that evidence of wisdom influence is found in psalm titles, the structure of the Psalter, and among the various genres of psalms. I find further evidence of wisdom influence in creation theology, as seen in Psalms 19, 33, 104, and 148, for which parallels are found in other A.N.E. wisdom texts. In essence, in its final form, the entire Psalter reveals the work of scribes and teachers associated with post-exilic wisdom traditions or schools associated with the temple.

  • Psalms 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is Tehillim, which means "praise songs." The title adopted by the Septuagint translators for their Greek version was Psalmoi meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument." This Greek word translates the Hebrew word mizmor that occurs in the titles of 57 of the psalms. In time, the Greek word psalmoi came to mean "songs of praise" without reference to stringed accompaniment. The English translators transliterated the Greek title, resulting in the title "Psalms" in English Bibles. WRITERS The texts of the individual psalms do not usually indicate who wrote them. Psalm 72:20 seems to be an exception, but this verse was probably an early editorial addition, referring to the preceding collection of Davidic psalms, of which Psalm 72, or 71, was the last.1 However, some of the titles of the individual psalms do contain information about the writers. The titles occur in English versions after the heading (e.g., "Psalm 1") and before the first verse. They were usually the first verse in the Hebrew Bible. Consequently, the numbering of the verses in the Hebrew and English Bibles is often different, the first verse in the Septuagint and English texts usually being the second verse in the Hebrew text, when the psalm has a title. 1See Gleason L. Archer Jr., A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, p. 439. Copyright Ó 2021 by Thomas L. Constable www.soniclight.com 2 Dr. Constable's Notes on Psalms 2021 Edition "… there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."1 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired.

  • The Role of the Psalter in Praying the Liturgy of the Hours
    Antiphon . (008): 6-40 The Role of the Psalter in Praying the Liturgy of the Hours Dieter Böhler, SJ From the solitary recitation of the righteous to the jubilant song of all creation: the significance of praying not just psalms, but the Psalter during the Liturgy of the Hours. PSALMS AND PSALTER The Book of Psalms is a collection of one hundred and fifty songs and prayers of Israel. At the time of Jesus, it was already the most well-known and beloved of all biblical books. No book of the Old Testament is cited as often in the New Testament as the Psalms, and it was the book most read in the Qumran community. The popularity of the Book of Psalms did not diminish with the Christian era. From the second century at the latest, the Church made the Psalter her daily prayer book in response to the hymn writing of Gnostic heretics. These one hundred and fifty songs and prayers are first of all self- contained poems: poems of lamentation, of praise, of wisdom, poems of all kind. Each one is a closed poetic unity that can be interpreted in and for itself. Furthermore, these one hundred and fifty songs are not just ran- domly thrown together. Collectively, they constitute a single book. The Hebrews call it sefer tehillim (book of praises); Jerome used the term liber psalmorum, which is to say “book of psalms,” or, more simply, the Psalter. Thus, the Psalter as a whole is a literary unit that one can read and interpret as such.
